NEW-STATE HOME
- FOi) DEPENDENTS
Nearly 100 are now ready j

I
BOARD LEASES MORE GROUND
Items of General Interest Gathered
from Reliable Sources Around the
State House
Western Newspaper Union News Service
With the completion of the new ,
home for dependent children in Lin
coln, and the return to this institu
tion of fifteen babies which have
been boarded out, the state board
of control announces that it has be
tween ninety and 100 babies which
may be adopted into good homes.
The plan of boarding babies out will
be abandoned.
Chairman .Mayfield of the board
of control says that among the babies
ready for adoption are many kiddies
that are really beautiful, and that
all of them are healthy and well
behaved. Mr. Mayfield is paying per
sonal attention to the home for de
pendent children, and asks all wish
ing a boy or girl, of any age from
a few months up to 14 years, to
come to Lim oln. visit the home and
make their selections. Norfe but
healthy children are sent out, he
says, and a complete record of each
is supplied.
State Board Rents Mere Ground
To feed and maintain the 5.000 in
mates of the fifteen state institutions
of Nebraska, with 800 officers and
attendants, is going to require the
mobilization of the best resources of
the state board of control, in the
face of the present high prices des
tined to go higher with the war with
Germany on.
The board has already sent out or
ders to institution superintendents to
use every effort to cut down ex
penses, dispense with luxuries, utilize
every available foot of ground for
garden truck and crops and retrench
generally in all lines of expenditures.
The big question now with the
board is to get each institution to
raise as much produce as possible on
its own institutional grounds.
To this end the board has rented
100 more acres of ground at the
state penitentiary in addition to the
295 acres of its own. A hundred
acres of wheat, killed the past win
ter, will be put into corn, so that
the corn acreage there this fall will
be 200 acres.
Will Help Conservation of Resources
Chairman E O. Mayfield of the
state board of control says tl at the
board appreciates Governor Neville’s
expressed wish that every citizen
make a special effort to husband re
sources and increase wherever nossible
the products from field and garden.
On its part, the state board of con
trol will see to it that every avail
able acre of land is planted and care
fully looked after, with the end in
view that expenses at the various
institutions may contribute as much
as possible to the expense of their
operation. Wherever there is land
attached to one of the institutions,
no matter how small the amount,
gardens will be planted more ex
tensively than in the past, if pos
sible.
The Revised Compensation Law
The committee of the whole, with
Spirk in the chair, has finished con
sideration of the employers’ liability
and workmen's compensation law. It
was a substitute bill offered by the
senate committee oi labor. After
it had been amended somewhat by
Moriarty of Douglas it was ordered
engrossed for a third reading.
Moriarty's amendment to provide
that in case an injury should take
place as a result of the violation of
a safety law- by the employer the
employe could elect to take under
the compensation law or sue in court
for damages under the old law. This
was opposed by friends of the bill
as destroying the very spirit of the
compensation law and would result
in ambulance chasing lawyers getting
enploves to sue under the old com
mon law and in many such cases
the employe would lose his wages
and get nothing and perhaps be per
manently injured.
For Council of Defense
Without a protesting vote the
house adopted the conference commit
tee report on IT. R. 423. the bill
placing the Nebraska national guard
under the provisions of the national
defense act and raising the salaries
of members of the adjutant gen
eral's staff. The measure had been
amended to conform with Governor
Neville’s request for a state council
of defense. This council will consist
of eleven members, earh member to
draw $5 a day during actual service.
Charge District Judges.
Governor Neville signed the judicial
reapportionment bill giving one addi
tional district judge to the Fourth and
Tenth districts and shifting several
small counties in northwest Nebraska.
Simultaneously with-this announce
ment the governor stated that he had
appointed W. M. Morning, of Lincoln,
ns Lancaster county's fourth judge.
Mr. Morning was a presidential elector
at the November election. He has
practiced law here many years.
The board of managers of the
Nebraska state board of agruculture
has adopted resolutions urging the
farmers of Nebraska to participate in
the war by doing their utmost in
supporting the soldier in the field
and the family at home. Upon the
farmers rest the final responsibility
of winning the war, says the board.
It asks farmers to increase the acre
age of crops, to experiment with no
untried crops and to sow oats and
plant corn and sorghum where win
ter wheat is killed. Where oats and
barley are proved and reliable crops
they should be planted.
GOES TO THE GOVERNOR
Senate Adopts Conference Report on
Prohibition Bill
The senate, adopted the confer
ence report on the prohibition bill by
a vote of. 30 to 3. Wednesday morn
ing. jtter an hour of harmony talks
by the so-called drys and others. The
bill as amended by the senate and
the join* conference committees is
now ready for the governor’s signa
ture.
The session was marked by a
verba! review of the fight for the
senate amendments, with admissions
from the “drys" that the bill as it
passed the house was unworkable.
The “drys” also took occasion, on
the challenge of Moriarty of Douglas,
to pay a tribute to Robertson, of
Holt, who fought for the amendments
in the fr.ce of scorn and jeers from
a part of the press and from fanatics
in every corner of the state, who
denounced his action. “The drys"
were frank to admit his good faith.
The prohibition bill will be signed
by the governor, it is expected, and
w-ill become effective May 1.
April 27 and 28 Clean-Up Days
Governor Neville has named April
27 and 2S as clean-up days in Ne
braska, and Fire Commissioner Rid
gell appends bis proclamation to a
bulletin suggesting methods for ob
serving this day by cleaning up
waste and rubbish that increases fire
hazard.
Tue $2,000,000 fire loss in Ne
braska annually could be materially
reduced, said Commissioner Ridgell,
by co-operation of civil, business and
social organizations to take steps to
prevent the accumulation of hazard
ous waste. The governor's proclama
tion reads:
“Every nrecaution should be taken
to provide against the destruction of
life and property by fire. The rec
ord of past years show that- much
of the waste caused by fire comes
from carelessness on the part of
those who allow the accumulation of
waste and inflammable material.
“The state deputy fire commis
sioner has issued his annual state
ment calling attention to the neces
sity of the exercise of care on the
part of all. in order that loss by
fire may be reduced to the minimum.
“I am in hearty sympathy with all
he says on the subject and request
the people to observe the warnings
given. I reccommend that the teach
ers of our public schools call atten
tion to the day by extra fire drills
or other exercises that will tend to
promote a conviction in the minds
of the young of the necessity of care
on their part in handling matches,
explosives or other inflammable sub
stance that, at times, produce con
flagration and bring ruin to homes
and sometimes whole communities.
“I, therefore, name and set aside
April 27 and 2S. 1917, as clean-up
days and urge a general observance
of the same.
"KEITH NEVILLE. Governor.”
Full Credit for Enlisted Students
The state university senate has
decided that all seniors who enlist
for service for the government will
ge granted full credit and awarded
their diplomas in absentia without
fees. All other students who enlist
will be given full credit for their
work this semester. Chancellor
Avery, in an address to the faculty,
urged that all past bitterness be
cause of statements made by different
professors should be forgotten, and
that the faculty should stand united
behind the government during the
war. He called to the attention of
the professors the fact that they
have had absolute freedom of speech
and have ranged themselves as either
pro-ally or pro-German. Now- their
duty is to forget these things and
support the president in every way
possible, he asserted.
Senior university students who en
list for service in the war will be
given full credit during obsence and
awarded their diplomas without fee.
Flag Display on School Buildings
Lieutenant Governor Howard pre
sented a petition addressed to the
senate asking for the passage of H.
R. 739, a bill requiring the display
of the flag on school buildings and
state educational institutions on na
tional holidays and special school
occasions. The attention of the sen
ate was called to the bill and as a
result the bill was resurrected from
the general file, where it died some
time ago by a motion killing all bills
not on the sifting file.
Will Have to Use Old Statutes
No new statutes will be printed
this year by the state and up-to-date
statutes of Nebraska said to be con
templated by a Denver house foi
preparation after the present legis
lature has adjourned are not ap
proved by the state. This news was
given out by Secretary of State Poo!
to quiet hundreds of rumors circu
lated over the state in response to
users of statutes, v ho will thus have
to resort to their 1913 statutes and
supplementally to the session laws
of 1915 and 1917.
Shipped 2.000.000 Bushels of Grain
Nebraska producers shipped 2,000,
000 bushels of grain during the
month of March, a large part of
which was wheat, according to
figures in the hands of the Nebraska
railway commission. This does not
include re-consignments. With April
and the war with Germany coming
on. the shipments fell to almost no
grain movement, due, it is said to
a shortage of the wheat supply and
the holdings of it for higher prices
in the face of the present crisis.
Capital National Bank Again.
Five of the six members A the joint
senate and house committee appointed
to investigate the possibilities of col
lecting $194,502.02, the sum the state
lost in the failure of the Capital Na
, tional bank in Lincoln in 1893, are in
favor of pressing the matter further
with the view of collecting the loss
; from the directors of the bank. These
five are asking the legislature to ap
propriate $5,000, of which $1,000 they
ask to be set aside for further investi
I gation of the possibilities of making
| the collection.

ing Episode of Hunting Trip.
Foiled in Self-Defense to Kill Animal
Which Trailed and Attacked
Party in Woods.
In “A Book-Lover's Holiday iu the
Open," Col. Theodore Roosevelt takes
his readers into the less familiar cor
ners of both North and South Amer
ica. Many of his experiences were ex
citing, but perhaps the most thrilling
was his encounter with a bull moose
when on a rtc.nt hunting trip in
Quebec.
“When we we*e half a tnile from the
landing,” he say-, “we saw a big bull
moose on the edge of the shore ahead
of us. He looked bigger than the one
I had shot that morning, and his ant
lers were rather more palmated. We
paddled up to within a hundred yards
of him. laughing and talking, and re
marking how eager we should have
been if we had not already got our
moose.
"At first lie did nut seem to notice us.
Thee lie lookeu si us, but paid no fur
ther heed. We were surprised, but
paddled ou pa.1; him; we supposed that
he did not realize what we were. But
another hundred yards put us to wind
ward. Instead of turning into the for
est when he got our wind, the moose
merely bristled up the hair ou his
withers, shook his head and walked
along the shore after us. Plainly he
meant mischief. So we turned the
canoe round and paddled on our back
truck. But the moose promptly turned
and followed us along the shore- We
yelled at him, and Odilon struck the
canoe with his paddle, but with no ef
fect.
“For more than aa hour he thus kept
us from the shore, running to meet us
wherever we tried to go. The after
noon was waning, and a cold wind be
gan to blow. He was not a pleasunt
lookiug beast to meet in the woods In
the dusk. We were at our wits’ ends
to know what to do. At last he turned,
shook his head and, with a flourish of
his heels, galloped—not trotted—for 60
yards up along the little river that
paralleled the portage trail. I called
Arthur's attention to that, us he had
been telling me that a big bull never
galloped. Then the moose disappeared
at a trot around the bend. We waited
a few minutes, cautiously landed and
started along the trail, watching to see
if the bull were lying in wait for us.
Arthur told me that if he now at
tacked us I must shoot him at once or
lie would kill someone.
"A couple of hundred yards ou, the
trail led within a few yards of the lit
tle river. As we reached that point a
. smashing in the brush beyond the op
; jHisite bank caused us to wheel; f.nd
the great bull came headlong for us.
; Arthur called to me to shoot. With a
; last hope of frightening him I fired
over his head, without the slightest
I effect. At a slashing trot he crossed
the river, shaking his head, with his
ears laid back and the hair ou nis
withers bristling.
"’Tirez. m’sieu. tirez; vite, vite!’
called Arthur, and when the bull was
not 30 feet away I put a bullet into
his chest, in the sticking point. It
was a mortal wound, and stopped him
short.
“I was sorry to have to kill him, but
there was no alternative. As it was, I
only stopped him in the nick of time,
and had I not shot straight at least
one of us would have paid forfeit
with his life. Even in Africa I have
never known anything except a rogue
elephant or buffalo, or an occasional
rhinoceros, to attack so viciously or
with such premeditation when he was
neither wounded nor threatened.’’—

Privileges of Consuls.
Consuls do not occupy the same fa
vored position as diplomatic agents in
the eyes of international law. Their
business is not with affairs between
state and state, but with protecting
the interests of individuals in a for
eign country.’ Thus, though they en
joy several of the immunities of a pub
j 11c minister, they do so as a courtesy,
not as a right.
All civilized custom, however, se
cures them a safe-conduct, and their
papers and in many cases the consular
buildings are held inviolable. In prac
tice, though not by law, consuls them
selves are not subject to arrest, save
for serious crime, and this exception
holds good also in the case of diplo
mats. though these would probably
only be detained until taken into their
own country's custodv.

Why She Sent a Substitute.
The loan department of the welfare
hoard and the woman outside the rail
had agreed on the amount of the loan
she wished ou the diamond ring, says
the Kansas City Star.
“Tour name?” the loan clerk asked.
“It Isn’t my ring,” she replied. “It
belongs to a friend.”
She named the owner.
“Couldn't she come herself for the
loan?”
“No, not very well,” she answered.
“You see, her home was robbed last
night and all her clothes stolen. She
must borrow money on the ring to buy
new ones. She sent me to get the
i money and to buy the clothes.”
The loan was made.

Sincerity in Taste.
i The only sure way to cultivate taste
j Is by the exercise of a fearless sincer
ity. To adopt the opinion of another
| as to what we feel or ought to feel is
an absurdity in terms. Keeling is u pri
vate experience; the pretense of feel
ing Is a peculiarly dangerous form of
untruth. The honest, perfectly truth
ful beginner in the study of pictures
will like and dislike with vengeance.
But a simple unbiased, leisurely readi
ness to accept what the painter has to
show us will leud in time to a growth
of insight.
As our knowledge and receptivity in
crease we shall find that we grow less
Intolerant of the things which at first
we did not like. Our taste will tend to
become catholic.—Mary Innes.

that the Jobbles are living entirely on

“Jobble is a proud man. If he hears
that story he'll have his revenge, all

“He'll probably order his cook to
